Update your GARDEN

Whatever the size of your plot, make the most of it by planting an abundance of colour and produce. From growing your own veg to landscaping, you’ll find plenty of ideas to inspire you and turn it into your perfect sanctuary.

10 NEW GARDEN Looks

From left-to-grow lawns to grow-to-cut flowers, drought-loving designs to space-saving planting, the latest trends have something for every garden and gardener alike. Our gardens have evolved since lockdown, and we’re all keen to get the most from them, as we crave space to work or entertain, or places to just sit and be. ‘Gardeners are finding new ways to encourage more wildlife onto their patch, trying sustainable techniques to improve their soil and be water-wise,’ says horticulturist Guy Barter.

1 GREEN LANDSCAPING

As hard landscaping costs soar, it is believed that green walls, hedges and swimming ponds are all set to increase in popularity. Searches for the fragrant evergreen shrub myrtle, has also grown in popularity. Myrtle is a great choice for Mediterranean borders, hedges and screens, so why not give it a try?

2 GROW FOR CUTTING

Create your own flower-cutting patch. Think colour and impact, with cosmos, dahlias, peonies and chrysanthemums – all big-style hitters. Don’t forget that foliage and grasses can be easily snipped to boost a few blooms. Need a little help? Head to your local nursery for more information on collections for cutting gardens, which are designed to look brilliant growing together and displayed around your home once cut.
